Yeah pretty much same. My scout says 13, but only 2 that are 3 stars or above. 11 of the 13 are SPs.

Duluth was 5-2 this sim, 7-3 last 10, Had a really good showing this week and we are picking up steam.

would someone like to post the standings here ... with the transition taking up all available time statslab hasn't been updated

It is just flat out mean for the Baseball Gods to take out my pitching prospect Jude 'Freak' Bowles for 10 months after 3 starts for the Zephyrs.

I wonder how many 20-12 managers have been in jeopardy of losing their job as mine is one of them. Very unhappy with him since his contract extension. He is making me micro-manage way more than I should.

I have five big leaguers on the DL as well, including two starters and another starter hobbled for a sim. New Orleans will see Mito Nomura, making his first PEBA start, and Luis Reyes his third (1st of the year) the next two games. Nomura has only given up a run in one of his five AAA starts this year and is on a 22 2/3-inning scoreless streak so fingers crossed (for me anyway).

My scout has only four guys above two stars in this draft and the top guy is only three stars. OSA only has five above 2 1/2 stars.

Yeah... I feel clueless as to how one should rate players now...

I have a first and three seconds. Makes no sense for me to sign them. I might be better off rolling them over to next year.

That Joshua Hall trade went from looking really good to really bad.

The draft looks like they are all based on under par players. If they never improve they would just be added to the massive number of FAs who would never make it to a team.

I haven't been able to figure out if this is just a poor draft class or if changing the way we view ratings just makes the players look very poor.

Could be a combination of both I guess.

It's the latter...

It does make me feel better about the prospects in my farm if thats the case.
